Cellphone Use While Pregnant Causes Kids To Go Haywire, Study Says

Pregnant women should probably add cellphones to the list of things they need to avoid, along with alcohol, sushi and cat poo. A giant study that surveyed over 13,000 children found that women who used mobile phones when pregnant were more likely to give birth to kids with behavioral problems. More »

iSteamy Converts iPhone into Handheld Porn Powerhouse (Extremely NSFW)



Here's our Extremely Not Safe For Work video review of iSteamy, a software program designed to easily browse porn on your iPhone, complete with category-based picture, video and audio navigation and a "steamy room" to store all your favorites in its internal memory. This is the first version, so it has some bugs and not enough content. However, it looks promising enough to guarantee a good try. And maybe make some people change their iPhone recommendation.

(WARNING: Before you click on the video, be warned. After a long time of warnings, this video review will inevitably show nudity and oral sex.)

Two Possible Mac Data Loss Issues Still Unadressed by Apple

Although no official word has been released by Apple, there appears to be two serious data loss issues that could affect MacBook owners and users of Mac OS X Leopard. According to blogger Tom Karpik, Leopard's Finder has a bug in its directory-moving code that can result in massive data loss when transferring large files—regardless of the type of destination drive. Apparently, this flaw has been around since the days of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, so it could represent an ongoing problem that Apple has failed to address. More »

Seagate 2.5-inch Hard Drive Flaw Affecting MacBooks?

Retrodata, a data-recovery company, has just issued a warning for Apple MacBook owners with Seagate hard drives that were manufactured in China and have a firmware version of 7.01. Apparently these have a fatal flow that cause their read/write heads to fail mechanically, scratching up the hard drive surface as pictured and making data unrecoverable (even by professionals such as themselves). If you've got a MacBook, you should check to see if your internal drive is a Seagate and back up your data accordingly. There's no official word yet from Apple on whether or not this actually a problem, but better safe than crying over lost nudie photos. [Retrodata - Thanks Eric!]

Warning: You Can't Have Sex With The iPhone

I've been hanging out on the couch playing with this online label maker for my site, so I decided to make one for Giz readers, too. This is a friendly reminder that no matter how important you think gadgets are, they'll never be able to 1-up humans. More »

Mobileye AWS: Color-Coded Nagging on Your Dashboard

As we move ever closer to the driverless car, Mobileye takes a step backward with its automatic warning system (AWS), a color-coded indicator that mounts on your dashboard. Its eye is actually a small video camera mounted to the rear view mirror, and its image processor, called the EyeQ, calculates the distance between your car and the one in front of you, giving you an audible and visual warning if you get too close. It also lets you know if you drift out of your lane, but is deactivated if you turn on the car's turn signal. More »
